(iii) What are the two necessary conditions for the direct combination of sulphur dioxide and chlorine forming sulphuryl chloride ? (iv) State the property of sulphur dioxide which causes potassium permagnate to change its colour from purple to colourless.

Question 3. (a) (i) Of the two gases,ammonia and hydrogen chloride, which is more dense? Name the method of collection of this gas. (ii) Give one example of a reaction between the above two gases which produces a solid compound. (b) Write a balanced equation for a reaction in which ammonia is oxidized by: (i) A metal oxide (ii) A gas which is not oxygen.

Question 4. (a) Alumina has a very high melting point of over 2000 C so it cannot readily be liquidfied. Hoowever.conversion of alumina to aluminium and oxygen, by electrolysis, can occur when it is dissolve in some other substance. (i) Which solution is used to react with bauxite as a first step in obtaining aluminium oxide? (ii) The aluminium oxide for the electrolytic extraction of aluminium is obtained by heating aluminium hydroide. Write the equation for this reaction. (iii) Name the element which serves both as the anode and the cathode in the extraction of aluminium.

(iv) (v)

Write the equation for the reaction that occurs at the cathode during the extraction of aluminium by electrolysis. Give the equation for the reaction which occurs at the anode when aluminium is purified by electrolysis.

(b) (i) Name the charged particles which attract one another to form electrovalent compound. (ii)In the formation of electrovalent compound, electrons are transferred from one element to another. How are electrons involved in the formation of a covalent compound? (iii) The electronic configuration of nitrogen is 2,5.How many electrons in the outer shell of a nitrogen atom are not involvedin the formation of nitrogen molecule? In the formation of magnesium chloride,name the substance that is oxidixed and the substance that is reduced.

(iv)

Question 6. (a) (i) HCL,HNO3,H2SO4 are the formulae of three compounds.Which of these compounds have the highest boiling point and which has the lowest? (ii)Dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulphuric acid are both colourless solutions.How will th addition of barium chloride solution to each help to distinguish between the two? (iii)You enter the lab after the class has completed the Fountain Expt. How how will you able to tell wether the gas used in the lab was HCL or ammonia? (b) Write balanced equation for the reaction of dilute hydrochloric acid with each of the following: (i) Iron (ii) Sodium hydrogen carbonate (iii) Iron sulphide (iv) Sodium sulphite (v) Sodium thiosulphate solution

Question 7. (a) A compound X consists +of 4.8% carbon and 95.2% bromine by mass. (i)Determine the empirical formulae of this compound woring correct to the decimal places. (ii) If the vapour density of the compound is 252, what is the molecular formulae of the compound? (iii)Name the type of chemical reaction by which X can be prepared from ethane.

(b) Salt A,B,C,D and E undergo reaction (i) to (v) respectively.Identify the anion present in the salt on the bases of these reactions.Tabulate your answers in the formate given below: (i) When silver nitrate solution is added to the solution of A, a white ppt, insoluble in dil nitric acid is formed. (ii) Addition of dil HCL to B produces a gas which turns lead acetate paper black. (iii) When a freshly prepared solution of ferrous sulphate is added to a solution of C and conc sulphuric acid is gently poured from the side of the test tube,a brown ring is formed. (iv) When dil sulphuric acid is added to D, a gas is produced which turns acidified potassium dichromate solution from orange to green. (v) Addition of dil HCL acid to E produces a effervescence.The gas produced turns lime water milky but does not affect acidified potassium dichromate solution?
